The 1992 election of members to the Senate of the Philippines was the 24th election to the Senate of the Philippines. It was held on Monday, May 11, 1992. This was the first general election (where all positions were contested) under the 1987 Philippine Constitution. An estimated 80,000 candidates ran for 17,000 posts, from the presidency all the way down to municipal councilors.

The Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) got a large share in the Senate race. TV personality and former Quezon City Vice Mayor Vicente Sotto III (also known as Tito Sotto) got the highest number of votes.

Electoral system

[edit]

Philippine Senate elections are via pluraity block voting, with staggered elections, with the entire country as an at-large "district". Each voter has 24 votes, and can vote for up to 24 candidates.

Under the transitory provisions of the Philippine constitution, all 24 senators were elected in this election. The first 12 senators who garnered the highest votes would have a six-year term while the next 12 senators would also have a three-year term. For purposes of term limits, each term counts as 1 term regardless of length.
